A fast food favorite could soon be a healthy menu option. Getting a daily intake of omega-3 fatty acids could be as simple as biting into a burger. Jim Drouillard, Kansas State University professor, created USDA approved omega-3 enriched ground beef. The experiment started about 10 years ago. He discovered feeding cattle flax seed increased omega-3 levels in the animals over the course of several months. “It's better for your cholesterol and your heart and everything,” he said.

Kansas State University President Kirk Schulz announced today that John Currie, K-State athletics director, has accepted a new contract, a move that recognizes Currie for his outstanding leadership and allows K-State Athletics to continue the stability and momentum provided since his appointment 18 months ago. The agreement, retroactive to July 1, 2010, replaces the original contract signed in 2009 and secures Currie's services through June 30,...

It was a big win for the Jayhawks...and a big loss for the Wildcats. K-U beat Western Kentucky 64 to 57 in the second round of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. But Kansas State lost to La Salle 63 to 61. Eyewitness News Reporter Anne Meyer was in Kansas City with fan reaction to the games.

by The Associated Press Kansas State coach Ron Prince and several players visited the Alamodome Wednesday after meeting with reporters at the Big 12 Media Day. The Alamodome is the site of this year's Big 12 championship, and Prince says the team's goal is to play there December First. He says they want to go back and tell the rest of the team exactly what the facility looks like.

by Richard Smith K-State football fans hoping for significant offseason changes to the coaching staff may wind up disappointed. In his end-of-season teleconference Thursday, Wildcat head coach Ron Prince said he didn't expect any changes on his coaching staff. "I have a lot of confidence in the guys we have here and they've done a really good job," Prince said. "In most people's eyes, when you have a situation like this they want to see a lot of blood in the streets and that sort of thing, but that doesn't do anything to build continuity.

It already costs you tens of thousands of dollars, but now a college education in Kansas will get even more expensive.  The Board of Regents voted to raise tuition at all six state schools Thursday. The increases range from 4% at K-State and Fort Hays State to 6.9% at Emporia State. "Awesome, that's what we want," said WSU student Lashawna Williams with sarcasm dripping from her voice.  "I don't even know what the money is going to.  We already pay enough for books and everything else, it's kind of stressful," she said.

By Bruce Haertl (SALT LAKE CITY) Game Day - Kansas State is loose. I don't know how that will equate in their game against Xavier, but they are a loose group. I didn't know how deeply the 'bad blood' flowed between these two teams, at least from the 'Cats perspective. The way that Xavier beat them in Cincinnati two years ago (103-77--Frank Martin's worst loss at KSU) has really stuck with these guys. That they still carry such a grudge two years later is interesting. The more I get to know Frank Martin, the more I like him--and I had a pretty good vibe about him right from the start.

Kansas State looks to win for the eighth time in ten starts on Saturday when they host Texas A&M.  A football team never wants to measure progress while losing, but the 'Cats may have gained in national perception after their 52-45 loss at 3 rd ranked Oklahoma St. last weekend. Despite the loss KSU remained 14 th in the BCS poll and with a win over A&M they would set themselves up for a nice payday come bowl season. Headed to the SEC next year, Texas A&M's exit strategy hasn't been particularly graceful.

Wichita State's campus book store is offering an incentive for KU and K-State fans to get behind the Shockers on their march to Atlanta. The Student Activities Council is sponsoring a shirt buy back program. KU and K-State fans can turn in their crimson and blue and purple t-shirts to get a $3 discount on a new Shocker shirt. Supporters say they want to see more black and yellow around Wichita. "We see people walking around with K-State and KU shirts," said Ashley Donnelly, WSU student.

I actually like KU's Adidas uniforms they're wearing at the Big 12 Tournament, I'm not sure I want to see them every day.   I know I don't want to see Notre Dame's ever again; I wouldn't use them to line my cat litter. KU-K-State I would bet against both of them reaching the final in Kansas City, but I hope they do.  I'm not sure why Bruce Weber continues to open his mouth, but what comes out of it seems to be fueling some fire.  The Kansas State Coach told a reporter that he'd hoped to celebrate Kansas State's basketball title a week ago, but that bad officiating in the Iowa State - Kansas game took care of that.  After the rivals both lost last weekend, they ended up sharing the title - something that KSU has celebrated widely, while KU, with nine of them in a row, has barely noticed---barely.  That KU players and even Bill Self are reacting to it shows that Weber is getting under their skin - a little.   I'm pretty sure that's a good thing for a rivalry that's been one in mane only for far too long.  You can't tell me that KU fan doesn't want to get KSU one more time---just to reacquaint them with the pecking order.  That would make Sunday interesting, even though both team's tickets to the NCAA have long been punched.

This is the first matchup between the Wildcats and Cyclones in Ames since 2007, which happens to be the last time that Iowa St. beat KSU.  Sure, the 'Cats may have won four straight in this series, but they've won those game by an average margin of six points.  Another close game is expected on Saturday, especially since the game is expected to be played in heavy rain. A soggy field would seem to benefit K-State which boasts the 9 th best rushing attack in the country, but Iowa State wants to run the ball as well.  Interestingly, the game features two of the stingiest scoring defenses in the Big 12.  The Cyclones will need it, as the Wildcats come in as the nation's 11 th highest scoring team, throw in a clear advantage in the kicking game and you've got a 6 ½ point favorite on the road.
